| - Thank you, Yelp, (once again) for bringing me to KJ. When my man and I first moved to Vegas, we had heard that there was a place with the best Chinese food in town from one of our favorite servers... only, she said this place was "KL," not "KJ." We had given up our search for the mysterious KL some time ago (and were close to giving up our search for another resto that had brought us so far down Spring Mountain on this particular night)... and Yelp came to our rescue!! We searched for Chinese nearby and, with the help of the Yelp Iphone app, came across KJ!!! After reading the reviews, we knew KL was not KL but KJ. Sigh... now do you know why I heart Yelp??! But I digress....
The second indicator that this place was going to be the BOMB (the first, of course, being the number of folks that gave this place 5 stars on Yelp) was the line of cabbies dropping people off outside this resto.... on a WEEKNIGHT... at 10 PM! We walked inside to find the place was fully packed... so packed, in fact, we waited 20 min for table! Once we did finally sit, lovely jasmine tea was bought to our table. We opted for the XO beans (DELISH!), the Eggplant Hotpot (DELISH times 2), and the Sizzling Mixed Seafood in Garlic Sauce (SO-SO). Overall, the food scored a 5 (the Eggplant more than made up for the MEH-Seafood).
The only reason this place is a 4 is because of the service. While the service was fast, it was far from efficient and not friendly. The waiter had little to no patience for any questions and made us feel like we were bothering him when we asked for a water refill. Oh well... I will still go back to KJ.... hopefully I get a nicer server next time.
